从《易传》“神”对“阴阳”的超越看其德性领域开启的必然性

On the inevitability of the enlightenment of virtue field by the transcendenceof the concept of spirit over Yin-yang in Yi Zhuan

本文从《周易》的占筮功能出发,认为阴阳观念表达了一个限定性含义,从而使阴阳所范围的一切对象具有了非自在的性质,而这之中的例外就是"神"。"神"在《易传》中既是一个客观的自在之物,同时又具有主体意义。从作为客观的自在之物的"神"转化为主体意义下的"神",必须通过道德践履;而道德践履所以可能,正在于"神"的保障。这样一个双向过程正是《易传》本体论和工夫论合一的德性领域的开启过程。

From the divine function of the Book of Changes, this paper believes the concept of Yin-yang conveys a confined meaning, which makes all the objects conccived in it non-being-in-itself, with the concept of spirit as an exception, however. Spirit is an objective being-in-itself; meanwhile it also has a subjective meaning. The transformation from spirit as an objective being-in-itself to that as a subject must be realized through moral practice; while what makes moral practice possible is the guarantee of spirit. Such a bidirectional process is also the enlightening process of virtue with the unity of the theory of Ontology and that of self-cultivation in Yi Zhuan.
